for me, she is a perfect choice...why? because of her experiences for being a contestant of many competitions locally, her long time experiences with many great persons in music industry (mr. cayabyab and mr. foster to name a few) where she had learned a lot of singing techniques, her experiences in international scenes (which only few of our locals attained), and many more.

ABS-CBN today announced that Martin Nievera is joining its biggest singing-reality competition “The X Factor Philippines” as one of the four judges who has what it takes to spot the x-factor among the thousands of Filipinos who have auditioned. In his 30 years in showbiz, Martin has proven himself as a multi-awarded singer and concert performer, songwriter, and TV host. Martin will not only serve as a judge during eliminations, but he will also serve as a mentor to select finalists as he helps them unleash their talent and grooms them for the last and final round of the competition. “The X Factor” is a world-renowned musical franchise by Simon Cowell that started in the UK. ABS-CBN bagged the exclusive rights to localize the program with KC Concepcion as host. The show will also give away the biggest prize for a talent search in the history of Philippine TV. Who are the other judges joining Martin in the judges seats?
Find out in the next few days as ABS-CBN reveals the other big names in the music industry who will be on the lookout for the next big thing in Philippine singing-reality competition. Watch out for “The X Factor Philippines” airing soon on ABS-CBN.

what she had was LuCK combined with amazing, breath-taking TaLent.. great voice.. steel lungs but no Xfactor

oh common, you're not a hater but your post says differently....you said she is amazing, has breath-taking talent, great voice, steel lungs....but, for you, she still has no xfactor......and who do you think has the xfactor? and could you please tell us the characteristics of an individual having an xfactor. then we will discuss the point

oh common?

saying something negative does not warrant the person to be a hater..

this would not be the best example (since you'd think im a sarah fantard = charice hater) but:

Sarah Geronimo

she is not anne curtis Hot, Kristine Hermosa Beautiful, erich at acting (she plays the same bit role over and over again), she cant match charice's lung power (not even angeline quinto's), she sucks at hosting

BUT she is definitely a superstar! and people love her despite

that's why im asking you, what are the characteristics of a person having an xfactor? you have to justify it
